Is Google’s Custom Search API being discontinued? (i.redd.it)

submitted 6 months ago by Independent_Guess_77<br>71 comments<br>share<br>save<br>hide<br>report

Hi so I was testing some stuff with google APIs and just today that one stopped working, then went to the documentation and found this, so is there no other way to scrape google search through google? Does anyone know an alternative inside or outside of google that works well and with the same scope it had?
